Hi to Melina and congratulations on getting a new (and better) job!

Audio feedback on episode 165 about chemistry from Maria and Alex

Feedback from Maite from Xátiva about the upside down King Felipe V.
First of all, I’d like to thank you for everything you do. I really enjoy listening to your superb podcasts.
Secondly, just as you asked for, here is my little research about the upside down King Felipe V.
Apparently, it was a Francesc Gil’s idea, canon of the Seu of València in the 50’s, who suggested Museu de l’Almoradí’s manager to hang the painting upside down as a symbolic meaning of punishment.
Felipe V ordered (his men) to burn Xàtiva twice and he also exchanged its name for San Felipe.
Don`t you think that this is more than enough probable cause?

Kisses, Maite.

Upside down – boca abajo, al revés / inside out – al revés
The picture was hung upside down – I put on my T-shirt inside out – and back to front – al revés)

Upside down
Inside out
Back to front

Hi friends, how are you doing?

Just to say the episode about music was brilliant (episode 163). I empathize with Reza because I played the guitar in a heavy metal band when I was younger.
I had to leave because of my degree and it was a difficult decision, but the right one.
Nowadays I still play my Gibson at home, remembering the real buzz you feel when you pull the strings on the stage.

By the way, have you ever made any episode about the British rock legends? Would you consider it? The Beatles, Pink floyd, The Who, Deep Purple, Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden…..and so on.
I’m deeply in love with British music, in my opinion it’s the best item of your culture (the best thing about your culture).

Thanks a million for everything, cheers from Úbeda!
